Strategic Partnership: Mastercard & First Care Solutions
As part of this offering, registered Mastercard users will receive credits for 4 free virtual doctor consultations and 6 vital health scans annually. This provides a comprehensive and convenient healthcare solution accessible from anywhere.
These benefits aim to reduce barriers to care, especially in regions where access to physical healthcare infrastructure remains limited or where time and cost constraints prevent people from seeking timely medical attention.

Smart Health Monitoring Through Your Smartphone

These tools promote early detection and intervention, helping users stay ahead of potential health issues before they become serious. With data stored securely and privately, users can build a continuous health profile to monitor progress and share results with doctors when necessary.

Mastercard cardholders can activate their benefits by registering on the CareFirst Platform (www.carefirst.co.za) or via the Mastercard Priceless platform. By using their Mastercard as a unique identifier, users can unlock this exclusive healthcare offer quickly and securely.
